Congress leader Pawan Khera was granted interim bail by a court in Delhi's Dwarka on Thursday after orders of Supreme Court following his arrest earlier in the day by Assam Police for alleged remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Supreme Court directed the Dwarka Court to grant interim bail to the Congress leader and issued notice to Assam Police and Uttar Pradesh Police on Khera's plea seeking clubbing of FIRs.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge lashed out at the BJP government for allegedly "harassing" Congress leader Pawan Khera and said that the Supreme Court order is a tight slap on the government's face.
"I don't know. I was told that your baggage has to be checked. I said I do not have any luggage except a handbag. When I came down, I was told that I cannot go, a DCP would come. We are waiting for the DCP for the last 20 minutes. I don't know why am I being stopped," he said.
